Abstract
Surface contamination of egg shells of waterfowl contains a large number
of pathogens, which significantly reduces duck breeding performance due to high
percentage of defective eggs.
Description
Findings indicate that the best hatchability performance were obtained using
formaldehyde vapor and agent Polydesum. However, formalin evaporations do not
penetrate through contamination and the agent is banned in many countries.
Moreover, there is a decrease in effectiveness of agents due to adaptation of
pathogenic microflora to disinfectants. Therefore, there is a need for constant search
for new more efficient incubation disinfectants.
